Nada Surf - Robot Lyrics
you're just walking roundyour little mazes figuring outhow to get by,how to get laid,and get famous,get yourself paid,impress the guys.you think you're thinking for yourselfbut when you get on thesubway's most crowded partjust to stand behind a girlCHORUSthen you arejust a robot,executing a program.you are just a robot,an imitation of a manyou're taught to dividethe world into buddies and wives,sluts and wimps;and ever since,you've kept a scorecardhow else to proveyou're such the pimp.you think you're thinking for yourselfbut when you can't get anythe consentual wayyou decide to use some forceCHORUSshe told me one nightwhen we were lying quiet and cold,something not right.it had been monthssince the good times,once there was sun,now there was night.and she said to meas she turned on the light,"there's something you don't knowthat keeps me from feeling right.i once knew a guy,i'd seen him around.he knew all my friends,he came from town.one night at a party,we both were there,he followed me into the bathroom,he grabbed my hair,"and she said "i still rememberjust how the floor feltand how my head would hit the tub."now where is that robot,put a stake thru my true lovewhere is that robot,should get struck down from aboveyou are just a robot,executing a program,an imitation of a man
